Africa
In 2011, Jason Derülo released "Fight For You" with new lyrics, but using the refrain of "Africa" by Toto and using some of the music of "Africa" but with further additions.
This is a very similar case to Karl Wolf's "Africa" which also had a lot of original lyrics and music. So it's not a straight cover version, but should be considered as an adaptation of the original.

The lyrics of the new song:
It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There´s nothing that 100 men or more could ever do
Just like the rain down in Africa
It´s gonna take some time but I know you´re worth fighting for!
OH
I´ll fight for you
EH BA BAM BA EH BAM BA EH EH EH BA BAM BA EH
EH BA BAM BA EH BAM BA EH EH EH BA BAM BA EH
I´ll fight for you
Friends are cool but we both know
They don´t want to see us together
Don´t wanna loos what I live for
I´m willing to do whatever
Cause I don´t wanna see you cry, cry
Give our love another try, try
I bet we get it right this time, time
As long as you´re prepared to fight, fight
I don’t wanna live another day
Without your body next to me
I´m not gonna let them break us down
Cause Baby I know now
It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
-I´ll fight for you-
There´s nothing that 100 men or more could ever do
-I´ll fight for you-
Just like the rain down in Africa
-I´ll fight for you-
It´s gonna take some time but I know you´re worth fighting for!
Lets go
What They say, it don’t even matter
They don´t really understand
Without each other we are barely breathing
Let´s get air in these hearts again
Cause I don´t wanna see you cry, cry
